Abstract (en)

An interventional device (110) for detecting nerve activity, is provided. The interventional device includes: a magnetic sensor (120) that is coupled to an insertable portion of the interventional device. The magnetic sensor (120) is configured to generate signals in response to magnetic fields produced by nerve activity. A system (200) is also provided. The system includes the interventional device (110) and a controller (140) that is configured to receive the signals generated by the magnetic sensor (120), and to output a detection result indicative of nerve activity in response to the received signals.
